Narcotik - Blue / 12 Miles FLAC album

Sasha used Blue to open his second CD for the seminal Global Underground 009: San Franciso, & the track put its producers (Gab Olivier, later of Digby & Olivier, & CJ Dolan) as well as the then-fledgling Aussie label, Zero Tolerance, on the map.

Zero Tolerance went on to release fantastic progressive tunes until it folded in 2004/05, but this record stands the test of time.

Blue is a slow-building affair with echoing vocals and melodic, trance-like lead. Wonderful saxophone stabs begin to crop up somewhere midway through the track, and then it's back to driving, Breeder-like progressive house that can be best described as making you want to take a swim into infinity.

12 Miles is a slightly more confused affair, still good enough to serve as filler in any set, but certainly lacking the flair of the A-side.

All in all, a classic. Use Blue to open with, or 12 Miles to keep up the energy mid-set--this is a record well worth your money.
